With Easter just around the corner, we decided to organize a good ol’e traditional Easter egg hunt here at BingoMania! Since we couldn’t have everybody fly down here and scurry around the BingoMania headquarters for eggs, we decided to go with an online version instead. Here’s how it works… we made up the puzzliest puzzles we possibly could, the answers to which are hidden somewhere on the BingoMania website, or right here on the ManiaStu blog. For each puzzle that you solve, you get an Easter egg in your basket. If you can collect all 10 eggs, e-mail your answers along with your username to easter@bingomania.com and get entered into our wacky Easterly draw to win one of three $50 cash prizes. If you think you have what it takes to be BingoMania’s top egg hunter, click here to begin.
Happy Hunting!

Hi Everyone!
While we wait to update our permanent credit card processor, we have set up a temporary solution to allow US and Canadian players to fund their BingoMania account using Visa or Mastercard. This solution lets you load a virtual ToggleCard using your credit card, and then you can use this ToggleCard at BingoMania just like a regular credit card. Launch Skippy’s step-by-step tutorial to learn how to use ToggleCard and start playing =)

If you know someone with a birthday coming up, you’ll want to send them a fun and wacky e-card. Perfect for congratulations, friendship or just to get all dribbly and say you miss someone, these cards are now available from our e-cards page. (login required)
Best of all, you can personalize them with your own messages.
When it comes to e-card design, our Nelson is the main man, and he wants to give you more cards. But he’s got a schedule tighter than David Hasselhoff’s pants :). So, please leave your suggestions for themed e-cards. The first ten good suggestions we select might just receive a nice thank you bonus*.
*Offer applicable to bingomania.com funded members only. And duplicate suggestions will not count : )

Yes, yes, it’s been a wee while (one week in fact), but I’m pleased to be back blogging again.
First off, Happy Valentine’s Day to all – glad to see a number of our members signed up for tonight’s Sweetheart Bingo Tourney. I think it will be a blast and a change to everyday bingo games. Wish everyone a great time tonight and best of luck!
If you haven’t signed up yet, you’ve still time to reserve your seat - register until 7pm EST tonight.
Now, I’m curious to hear what everyone received for Valentine’s Day: chocolates; flowers, jewelry, any surprises? … would love to hear from you.
I spent majority of last night, sweating it out in the kitchen making handmade chocolate truffles for my Valentine. It was tough work, but I have to admit, they came out great. In fact, I might just share my little secret recipe with you

For all you roomies who love to cook up a storm, we have created a nook for you to share recipes and cooking secrets. It’s unadvisable to play Bingo on an empty stomach - you need plenty of energy stored up in case you get a biggie Bingo and need to jump around =)
Thanks to Bomber for your great idea! Share your favorite recipes with your friends at BingoMania below.

Hello Everyone,
we have been reading your latest blog comments and they are very hurtful and disappointing. We set up this blog to get your feedback and comments, but to have people go so far as to refer other sites USING our blog is just disrespectful. We want to say the following things on the latest issues brought up on the blog:
1. Jackpots in fixed pot games - these were not “quietly” disabled as some of you suggest. Since the move, GM Bill, GM Catie, and GM Abi have had to MANUALLY re-configure all our jackpots - that’s roughly 5000 games! It takes time for everything to be set up exactly as it was and rest assured that they will be placed back in those games. It hurts us that you would think we are trying to swindle you - we take pride in running one of the top paying Bingo sites out there today.
2. Credit cards - Having easy funding up on Bingomania is our number one priority, however we rely on other companies for this service, so any time estimates which we give to you are the same estimates given to us - we just pass it on =)
Having said this, we will finish setting up the jackpots within a couple of days. We will also have credit cards back up within a week or two - we can’t give any specific dates because it is out of our control.
We’ve been working extra hard at making BingoMania the bestest ever:
We welcomed you with a free $5 bonus to test try our games. We have enabled 100% deposit bonus on all eWalletXpress deposits to offset the fees and a whopping 250% deposit bonus for your very first eWalletXpress deposit. For those of you who haven’t been able to deposit, we ran a fun free roll - and of course we made it inclusive to all our members. We have worked very hard to make this upgrade happen, and although it’s not perfect, we did it to make our servers stable and safe for you. We have added tons of new games, Mini Slots, Bingo Bets, Keno and more. We will have a BIGGIE tourney for Valentine’s Day with a special twist which will be a surprise. *deep breath* Phew! We are sad to see that all our efforts are going unnoticed =(
We would like to thank all those players who have supported us through this big change. And to all those players who are in some way dissatisfied or unhappy with Mania - our apologies, we are doing our best to keep BingoMania safe, fair and fun for everyone.
Sincerely,
The BingoMania Family

Hi everyone,
Now that we’ve upgraded (phew) and Mojo has made his debut, we’re hosting a party to celebrate! Don’t worry, it’s not one of those corny holiday parties where everyone wears party hats and cheesy sweaters - although you’re welcome to if you like =) This is a BINGO party - free cards, fun chat, and cash prizes!
When? Friday, January 18th from 5pm to 9pm EST
Where? The Party Room
Agenda? 4 whole hours of $10 FREE GAMES and consolation prizes - woo hoo!
Directions? Log into www.bingomania.com on Jan 18th at 5pm
Who’s all invited? All maniacs who have funded within the past three months
If you’re not eligible for the invite but would still like to attend, you can certainly make a deposit and contact our support staff, and we’ll extend the invite. Now we know some of you have been blue because easy funding is temporarily unavailable, so if you positively can’t make an eWallet deposit or are waiting for your eWallet account to be verified (long process sometimes, we sympathize), do give us a call or e-mail support and we’ll work something out - we don’t want anybody missing out!
We sent out e-mail invites to everyone on the guest list, so check your mailboxes please…
Hope to see you all there!
Friendly notes:
“I didn’t get an e-mail invite but I wanna come!!” <— If this is you, please don’t post a comment on the blog - it is likely to get lost among all the others! Please e-mail support@bingomania.com or call us toll free at 1-877-77-BINGO
“I still can’t access www.bingomania.com!” <— If this is you, please don’t post a comment on the blog for the same reason! Please e-mail helpme@bingomania.com if you are having this problem.

And a major thanky-poos to all of you for keeping the faith while we gave Little Rusty the send-off he deserves. He’s now tucked up cosily in the flower beds, next to the nasturtiums and good old Pebbles. (The hamster.) Just kidding, his off to enjoy his retirement plans.
Little Rusty’s final act was to hold strong for his successor, Mojo. (*Sobs*) It was one of the gutsiest things I ever saw.
Anyway, Mojo is here for good now. And it’s the start of a bright and bouncy and probably slightly lunatic new era. Mojo is rugged, powerful and handsome with a washboard tummy that comes fully loaded with a spanking new version of BingoMania.com. He’s the Antonio Banderas of bingo servers : =)
What’s New:
So what does this mean for our loyal customers (that’s you, BTW)?
- Greater stability
- New and better bingo version (check out what’s new here)
- New room logos and bingo room skins
- New game lobby with easier navigation
- Improved website navigation
Say hello to Mojo and try out the new, improved, washes-even-whiter BingoMania.com community.
To see a list of all the latest goodies, visit our “what’s new” page.
please note - if you’re still having trouble accessing the new bingomania.com home page, please see some of the tips included in the comment box below or call us toll-free: 1-877-77-BINGO (24646) for more help.

Hi Everyone!
First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you for being so fantastic for the past few weeks. We here at BingoMania really appreciate everyone’s help and support while Little Rusty is taking his final bow before he retires. Thank you to those who helped us beta test Mojo - our new shiny BingoMania server. I’m proud to announce that Mojo will officially become Rusty’s successor on Monday, January 14th!
What does this mean to you?
- Bingomania.com will be offline starting at 7am EST on Monday, January 14th until 9pm EST the same day. We will keep you posted on the blog on the progress of our big move and give you updated time estimates
- Bingomania will have a completely new design – (see screenshots below)
- Nickelbingo and Bonkers4Bingo will redirect existing players to www.bingomania.com as we’re combining all our partner sites into one
- The following rooms will be available on the new system: High Roller, Super High Roller, Nicknacks, Money Pot, Loony Bin, Lucky Lane, Nuthouse, Fair & Square, and Second Chance. The Party Room will be open for special free rolls and tourneys. All rooms will have wacky new designs!
- New features including: Bingo Bets, mini-slots, consolation prizes, e-cards, ability to upload pics to our gallery, loads of new games, more jackpots, and Keno will be back!
- We will start rolling out the welcome wagon with 150% deposit bonus day for all deposits and 150% + $10 for all deposits over $50 as soon as we move.
We’re taking this weekend to say farewell to our poor old friend Little Rusty, and look forward to welcoming our new server Mojo on Monday! Mojo is still closed for some final touches and testing, so all those peeps who snuck in to play there have been graciously escorted out
We know it will be a big change for everyone, and we have been working really hard to ensure that it will be a change for the better. We’re all here behind the scenes, super excited about our big move, we’ve been fussing over all the details like nervous hosts preparing for a big party. And what a party it will be!
Look forward to seeing you all there!
Warm Wishes,
Stuart
Update: The new server will now be going live at 9 p.m. We are working really hard to have the site ready for you, but do not want to put it up until it is perfect. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It’s quieter than a sleeping baby (in swaddling clothes) around here at the BingoMania HQ, as majority from our maniac team are on holidays. Yes, I do occasionally let our Maniacs take a break : = D
Before I turned the key on their handcuffs, however, I did make sure your fun would bubble over into the New Year here at BingoMania.com. Yep, we’ve decided to host several fun-filled specials for you.

Happy New Year whatever you’re up to. I’ll be around the blogsphere along with our hard-working GM Team. Thank you for reading and commenting this year. If there’s anything we can do to make the ManiaStu blog even better and bloggier in 2008, just let us know.
And we’re all excited to hear GM Bill is recovering well and will be joining the team very soon.
